„In April 2015, LinkedIn acquired the e-learning site lynda.com for a record €1.5 billion. Sylvain Vacaresse, University of Rennes 1 lecturer and e-learning consultant, notes, „There’s a push to go beyond skill endorsements and provide MOOC-based certifications. Why not offer certified courses through lynda.com ? A skill assessment tool could help people select classes. LinkedIn could create its own content“ and become a full service provider.“Nina Fink, Morgane Taquet, EducPros.fr, 25. September 2015
